2 teens arrested for shooting, robbery near Wilmington

New Castle County Police have arrested two teens in connection with a robbery that resulted in the shooting of a 19-year-old in the community of Minquadale.

Joseph Hughes, 18, of Wilmington Manor, and a 16-year-old were identified by police as suspects in a robbery that occurred in the 300 block of Wildel Avenue at about 10:30 p.m. on Sept. 5., said Officer First Class JP Piser, a spokesman for New Castle County Police.

Hughes was arrested Monday in the community of Penn Acres and the 16-year-old was arrested on Friday.

Police say the 19-year-old victim failed to comply with the robber's demands and was shot in the right arm, according to police.
